It stands as a testament to enduring quality, a place where the past and present converge to create an unparalleled guest experience.

Location

Situated in the heart of Old Quebec, a district renowned for its fine dining, charming boutiques, and picturesque walkways, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac commands a truly exceptional position.

Value for Money

As Canada's first historic hotel to achieve carbon neutrality, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac offers a stay that aligns with conscious luxury. While rates reflect its iconic status and prime location, the comprehensive experience - from impeccable service and extensive facilities to the rich historical context and stunning views - delivers significant value. The inclusion of activities such as the winter toboggan ride and the memorable afternoon tea contribute to a stay that feels truly worthwhile.

Accessibility

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac strives to accommodate all guests. While specific details on accessible room categories require direct inquiry, the hotel's commitment to service suggests a focus on ensuring a comfortable stay for individuals with varying needs. The property's historic nature is managed with modern accessibility considerations where possible.

Family-Friendly

The hotel welcomes families, offering an experience that can be enjoyed by all ages. While not explicitly detailing child-specific amenities like children's programs or dedicated play areas, the provision of excellent dining options, proximity to family-friendly attractions like the Aquarium du Québec, and the general grandeur of the property create a memorable setting for family vacations. The sheer scale and historic nature of the Château Frontenac often captivate younger visitors.

“Le Chateau Frontenac is undeniably Quebec City's landmark address, steeped in history and boasting stunning views of the St. Lawrence; it's easy to see why so many are drawn to its architectural grandeur and prime location near the city's main attractions. However, whispers of inconsistent service and dated rooms suggest that the 'castle' may rely more on its reputation than current-day delivery, so manage your expectations or perhaps visit for the history, but stay elsewhere.”
